The Gotha Missal: Fol. 77r, Text

Master of the Boqueteaux

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows an open book with yellowed pages. The pages are filled with black text in a language that appears to be Latin, written in a Gothic script. The text is arranged in columns, with the left and right pages having two columns each. The text is accompanied by colorful decorations, including blue, red, and gold accents. A large illuminated illustration is centered on the left page, depicting four robed figures with golden halos. The figures are surrounded by a decorative border. Smaller decorative elements, such as vines with leaves and flowers, adorn the borders of both pages. The book is set against a dark background. The pages have visible signs of aging, including stains and discoloration. The book's cover is not visible, but the pages appear to be secured by a binding on the left side.
